I figured it out… * In case anyone else looks at this…. * First Issue :: Couldn’t post images to server through WP admin. Solution :: Changed Intermedia Hosting Settings and Permissions at blog wp-content folder level to allow write access. * Second Issue :: Couldn’t see images after they were uploaded to wp-content folder Solution :: Went into WP Admin Settings > Miscellaneous – Changed file uploads folder to “uploads” (which is a default). Created a “uploads” folder on the web server in the wp-contents folder of the blog site. And … * Bingo. It’s all working fine (or so it seems) 😉 * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [How to set up Add Media Part of Admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-up-add-media-part-of-admin/) * Thread Starter [refreshgfx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/refreshgfx/) * (@refreshgfx) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-up-add-media-part-of-admin/#post-1100661) * I don’t like that “freshness” tag on the main screen. It means I’ve wasted nearly an hour trying to figure this out so far. * Anyway, UPDATE :: I changed my permissions on the host server and that worked. So, it’s sort of uploading the image. But, it’s not displaying in WP now. I get the blue- box with the question mark in it. When I look at my server via FTP – I can see it wrote the image to the folder though. So, it did upload. * Any ideas on why/how to get the image to properly display in the WP Media Library? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [How do I get my wordpress dashboard?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-get-my-wordpress-dashboard/) * [refreshgfx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/refreshgfx/) * (@refreshgfx) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-get-my-wordpress-dashboard/#post-1100658) * I’m not sure if this will help you or not (considering I’ve been working with WP for 5 days now)… But, try accessing your dashboard directly. * So, let’s say your blog address is … [http://www.domain-name.com/blog](http://www.domain-name.com/blog) * Then your admin dashboard would likely be at … [http://www.domain-name.com/blog/wp-admin/index.php](http://www.domain-name.com/blog/wp-admin/index.php) * See if that works. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Upgrading to 2.7.1 on Mac – There must be an easier way…..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-to-271-on-mac-there-must-be-an-easier-way/) * [refreshgfx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/refreshgfx/) * (@refreshgfx) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-to-271-on-mac-there-must-be-an-easier-way/#post-1100176) * I’m also on a MAC – Like tarheelrambler says though … I don’t think that’s too important. But, I found this video toot pretty good in helping me get set-up … * [http://www.killersites.com/wordpress/videos/installing-wordpress.php](http://www.killersites.com/wordpress/videos/installing-wordpress.php) * Also, I contacted my hosting provider and considering they like to keep my business– they helped me out too. So, you could try to talk with your host and see if they can help you get the files uploaded and configured. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Contact Form 7] custom submit button](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-custom-submit-button/) * [refreshgfx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/refreshgfx/) * (@refreshgfx) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-custom-submit-button/#post-1017797) * In case anyone else comes across this old post … * 1. Open the CSS style sheet for the Contact Form 7 (stylesheet.css). 2. Add a new style for a “submit” button … * .contactSubmit{ padding:8px 0 10px 0px; color:#FF0000; border:none; width:85px; height:30px; text-align:center; background-image:url(images/contact_submit.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; } * 3. Re-upload the stylesheet.css to your web server (( wp-content > plugins > contact-form-7 > stylesheet.css )) * Note* You’ll need to create a “button” background image and upload that to the images folder in the contact-form-7 plugins folder on your web server (see #3 above for the path to the images folder). * 4. Go into the WordPress Admin for Contact Form 7 5. You can select the “Generate Tag” tab and select “Submit Button” 6. For the class (optional) set that to your new style “contactSubmit” 7. Copy and paste the code generated into your Contact Form 7 code panel… *

[submit id:submitbttn class:contactSubmit “submit”]
